It carries a 24 V DC coil with screw-type terminals, and its switching capacity is rated at 6 A at 24 V DC, 6 A at 230 V AC, and 3 A at 400 V AC — the DC ratings are what matter for this coil variant, since the contactor itself is built for AC capacitor loads on the main poles.
The S0 frame (45 mm wide, 135 mm high, 165 mm deep) is a standard Siemens contactor footprint — it snaps onto 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 50022, and the mounting position allows ±180° rotation on a vertical surface plus ±22.5° tilt forward/backward, so panel layout is flexible. The 24 V DC coil holds at nominal and drops out below 18 V; verify your control supply can deliver the inrush without sagging. Wire termination accepts solid conductors from 0.5 mm² up to 4 mm² (2x per terminal) and stranded from 1 mm² to 10 mm², with a single 10 mm² at 40 °C or dual 10 mm² at 60 °C — this covers most panel wiring for capacitor banks up to the contactor's rating. The switching frequency is capped at 100 operations per hour across all voltage ranges (230 V to 690 V), which is typical for capacitor switching where thermal recovery time governs.
The S0 width (45 mm) leaves room for adjacent contactors or overload relays in a multi-step PFC bank. The screw terminals are captive and accept the wire ranges listed — no special tools beyond a standard screwdriver. The DC coil means no hum, and the arcing time of 10 ms is typical for DC switching; ensure the control transformer or power supply can handle the coil's pick-up current.
